Preview: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (DarkZero)

"Outside of the online co-op, the main draw for Sigma 2 is the newly playable characters. Alongside Ayane (of Dead or Alive fame) and Rachel (from the original Ninja Gaiden), Momiji – from Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword on the DS – is also making an appearance. During an exclusive play session through part of Momiji's campaign, we were able to get to grips with the naginata-wielding kunoichi-in-training. More importantly, we were able to see just how much has changed from Ninja Gaiden 2, which turned out to be quite little. This may seem like a bit of an anticlimax, but then Ninja Gaiden 2 is one of the tightest 3D action games on any console."

I've said it bef but the biggest draw for me is the fact they finally fixed that camera-which they should've done for NG2 in the first place. For those of us that are fans of the series and owners of both consoles this could prove a costly twewak if all they've done is pretty it up, lost some gore and added a couple of birds, no?

IDK. If the co-op is good(and why not?)and the female chars add to the SP that seems like quite a bit of content to me and the fixed camera, though I realise a lot of people weren't that bothered by it(different playing styles ,maybe?), means I'll be happy to spill my cash again. Still-it's sad the 360 game was never fixed as it really could and should have been a long time back.

This list has nine games....

And if these are the "hardest", that's a bit alarming because I'm pretty average and I've managed to 100% more than a third of this list (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Hard Corps Uprising, and Catherine).

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds1223d ago (Edited 1223d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno1223d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya1222d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat20201222d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds1222d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya1222d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman1222d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran1222d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.

They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.

micdagoat192256d ago

been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.

Domestupidname2256d ago

I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
